FACTS AND EANclEs ABOUT FAIRIES.
The Delightful Little People" Of Fable
and story.

-
The ~Deiishtfai "LittIe People" OF Fable
and story.
have been 10 some pains to gather
from various sources the names by
which the fairies have been known in
various countries and at various times.
The extent OF the list may surprise you.
i will repeat it to you:
Fairies. elves, e~le-folks, fays, urchins,
ouphes, ell-maids, el-womep, dwarfs,
trolls, norns. misses, kobolds, duende,
brownies, necks, s~tromkaris, fates, lit
tie wights, undines, ~salamanders, COB
Inns, hob-goblins, poukes, banshees,
kelpies, pixies, moss people, good peo-
pie, good neighbors, men of peace, wild
women, white ladies, peris, djinns,
genii, and gnomes.
You notice, of course, that l use the
word fairy in its broadcast sense, placing
in this category all presumably dispos-
sessed spirits which once inhabited hui
man bodies, but are not yet considered
meet to dwell with the saints in
light"
In nurses tales the fairy is almost in
variably q personifcation Of Provi-
dence, hut in the wider domain Of ro-
mantle literature the term is applicable
to a large class of NEUROLOGICAL spirits
known by the various names ! have
mentioned.
Dwarfs and elves were little people
who figure much in scandinavian liter
AZURE, the former being often violent
and malignant, and the latter sportive,
mischievous but useful, and visible
only to children born on SUNDAYS.
The kobolds were the domestic fairies
Of Germany, similar to the kelpies Of
Scotland and the misses OF Norway.
They were all skilled in music and
dancing, and we're fond of frolicking
by moonlight.
Necks and stromkarls inhabited the
rivers and lakes of Northern Europe,
and were similar to the mermen and
mermaids of a less remote superstition.
The mixes are also of this class and
figure largely in German folk lore.
Previous to the death Of a person by
drowning, they can be seen-so the
legends say-dancing on the face Of the
water. The female bears the semblance
of a beautiful maiden, and she conveys
mortals TO O beautiful subaqueous
abode, where they meet the male, who
has green teeth and always wears .
green hat.
Fates are Italian fairies. The duende,
or trasgo, is the most frequently men,
toned Spanish fairy. The white
ladies were Norman fairies.
Here is an ancient description Of the
dress Of the fairies:
"They wear a red conical cap; a
mantle Of green cloth inlaid with wild
flowers; green pantaloons. buttoned
with hobs Of silk, aud silver shoon.
They carry quiyers of arrow slough,
and bows made of the ribs of q man
buried where three lairds' lands meet
their arrows are made of bog reed,
tipped with white flints and dipped in
the dew of hemlock; they ride on steeds
whose hoofs would not dash the dew
from the cup Of q harebell."

Homely So iss Women.

Writing 10 his journal from abroad,
Henry Watterson says: "Tbe strangerin
Switzerland will be struck at once by
the beauty Of the country and the ugli-
ness of the women
Here nature seems TO have spent
herself upon inanimate objects and to
have had no material left for humanity
which she composed out of the debris
left wei after she had constructed the
mise en- scene. Apretty face, native and
to the manner born, is rarely il ever
seen upon the streets of Berne.
"The women appear to do all the work.
II is not unusual to see a girl and q dog
hitched to a cart and trotting along to-
gether like a pair of ponies.
"The men, great strapping fellows,
idle and lazy, loaf about the brasseries.
Their wives, daughters and sisters
till the fields and supply the markets.
"The dog, the goat and the cow per-
form the offices commonly performed in
other lands by the orse, the OK and the
mule. The bearisa sacred animal. So
is the lion. The donkey does fancy
duty at the summer resorts.
But there is nothing TO which the
Swiss woman may not turn her hand,
from milking a goat TO saving a cord Of
wood and drawing a load Of hay. She
is put to work in her childhood, aSd
before she reaches her maturity she
looks like a grandmother, wrinkled and
weather. beaten, bent and care-worn.
"The circumstance which appears at
every turning and is written upon each
countenance, leaves a painful impress
sion and discredits the national charac-
ter. A people so independent and 80
brave, 70 unaffected and 80 frugal as the
Swiss are admitted to be, ought to DO
